This is a nice piece on the unfortunate death of Peter Jennings. Mr. Pleszczynski is most correct; his courtly manners will be sadly missed.

p>And how amazing to learn that he was a high school drop-out. Well, the real pros have already taken over. Mr. Jennings will be missed by me for one, despite the many times I threw the TV remote control at him. May God truly rest his soul. br> -- Jessica O'Connor br> Bayonne, New Jersey /p> p> While I am sorry to hear about Peter Jennings, I think the press has overemphasized his importance to humanity. Family and friends will miss him but the rest of us will move on to the next person in journalism who takes his place. This might sound cruel, but the self importance of the press is aggravating, to say the least. br> -- Louise Williams br> Beaumont, Texas /p> p> I remember Jennings discussing, with a smile, being raised in an anti-American household in Canada. I knew then I didn't want him deciding what news I heard. (I also wished that Frank Reynolds had stayed with us longer.) br> --
